Steelers Don’t Need Le’Veon Bell To Win Super Bowl, Says Pittsburgh Mayor

EXCLUSIVE

Here’s a sign Le’Veon Bell‘s holdout has probably gone on too long …

Bill Peduto — the mayor of Pittsburgh and a longtime Le’Veon supporter — tells TMZ Sports he’s beginning to think the Steelers don’t need the RB to make a Super Bowl run.

“James Conner’s proving to be a worthy back and it’s a team sport,” Bill says. “It’s beyond one player.”

It’s a bit of a surprising claim … considering Bell has nearly 8,000 yards from scrimmage in 62 career games … but Bill — like some of Bell’s own teammates — seems to be fed up with the holdout.

“He’s, I think, getting very bad advice from his manager,” Peduto tells us.

“It’s getting to the point of a certain tipping point when you can still come back and your teammates and the fans will want to have you back.”

As for Bell … probably doesn’t care what Peduto has to say — he still wants to get paid. Plus, it’s hard to hear the critics above the roars of a jet ski!!!!!!
